Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I think I wouldn't like to be one. I wouldn't like to be one because it’s very stressful. Such as you need to know where every record is placed. You need to not lose any records. Missing records would cost your job and the work you put into it. I think it would also be hard finding the right file.
